Kampala, Uganda — Uganda’s path to sustainable homeownership just received a major boost. In a bold move, Housing Finance Bank has teamed up with Easy Housing to bring affordable, eco-friendly homes within reach of everyday Ugandans.
The partnership—unveiled on April 2, 2025, at the Housing Finance Bank Head Office in Kololo—marks a new chapter in Uganda’s housing sector. It combines financial inclusivity with green construction to combat the country’s severe housing shortage while supporting climate goals.
Uganda currently faces a staggering housing deficit of 2.4 million units. This new collaboration aims to close that gap by offering homes that are not only cost-effective but also environmentally conscious and resilient to climate impacts.
“Too often, affordability comes at the cost of quality,” said Christopher Akugizibwe, Manager of Home Loans at Housing Finance Bank.
“This partnership proves that Ugandans don’t have to choose between price and safety. With our support, they can own dignified, climate-smart homes that last generations.”
Easy Housing, the Dutch-based firm behind the innovative designs, specializes in modular, timber-based construction.
Their approach reduces carbon emissions, uses locally sourced materials, and allows families to expand homes as their financial capabilities grow.
“We build with purpose—for people and the planet,” said Wolf Bierens, Managing Director of Easy Housing. “Together with Housing Finance Bank, we are making sustainability the new standard in Uganda’s housing sector.”
These homes are designed to evolve with families, enabling incremental building without compromising structure or comfort. It’s a housing model that mirrors how many Ugandan families build—step by step—yet adds efficiency, safety, and climate resilience.
Through this partnership, Housing Finance Bank will offer attractive mortgage solutions to help Ugandans access these green homes. Benefits include:
- Repayment periods of up to 10 years
- Up to 80% financing
- Competitive interest rates
- Fast loan processing within 48 hours

This initiative also feeds into Housing Finance Bank’s broader vision of financial empowerment and sustainable urban development. It’s not just about houses—it’s about building a greener, more inclusive Uganda.
With 58 years in the mortgage and finance sector, Housing Finance Bank continues to lead the charge in responsible banking. Easy Housing brings cutting-edge construction techniques to the table.
Together, they’re not only building homes but also shaping a future where every Ugandan can own a safe, sustainable home.
